3 Things You Need to Know About ‘Last-Mile’ Struggles and Gains

Posted Alex

After months of speculation, Uber revealed in July that it had acquired on-demand delivery platform Postmates in a $2.65 billion deal. The news comes as another industry player, same-day delivery service Deliv, winds down operations after an eight-year stint. Deliv, currently in the process of selling technology assets to Target, has raised over $80 million in venture capital funding. The company’s aggressive focus on enterprise deals – $5 deliveries from thousands of retail stores – made cost optimization challenging. Low-priced, high-volume, and low-density delivery commitments can make cost minimization difficult and erode profits. Postmates reached a $2.4 billion valuation last year after raising $225 million in new capital. From being a ‘jack of all trades’, even offering IKEA and DIY product deliveries at one point, the company sharpened […]

Rapidus is helping businesses throughout COVID-19 outbreak period

Posted Alex

We’re living in a strange time. The outbreak of COVID-19 has left the US public in an eerily quiet state. Schools and businesses close, events are canceled, and folks walk down empty streets in masks and gloves. Amidst all of the strangeness, however, we can see a trend developing – one that expands upon ideas that have been forming for years. As 2020 moves forward, it’s clear that full-time jobs, with all of their benefits and drawbacks, may not be the norm much longer. Shocks like the coronavirus tend to interrupt the status-quo and make room for change, particularly with the new economic policies announced by Trump on March 11. In this case, it looks like part of that change will be in the form of popularized contractor […]

An average courier client would expect services to be rendered to him smoothly, but the reverse has been the case. Clients of courier services over the years have been faced with some seemingly unending challenges.  A scenario where one could fully rely on one’s courier service deliverer has been a rare one, they always had to wait for pickup and drop-off, and they would always call the customer care department of a courier service, asking to know what the status of their delivery was or when it would arrive.
